Hotel Palatia Naxos

... close to the marina that has music coming from it. I ate a lamb dish for dinner and since the Greeks eat dinner very late in the day and will frequently make an evening of it, it wasn't until close to 11 PM that we left the taverna.

I went back to the yacht to dress in my club clothes and to go to one of the few dance clubs that remained open over the winter. Although it wasn’t packed, the club was still a lot of fun and we had a great time.

... beautiful place with the village full of white-washed buildings scattered around a maze of little streets and alley ways. Just at it seemed that Santorini was made for couples, Mykonos was make for singles and the party life. This is one place that I want to return to again.

One of the most recognized landmarks on Mykonos has been their windmills. These mills were once used to refine grain and compact it for transport. A fairly strong wind year round made this a great location.

The intinerary had the Ruby departing Mykonos at 2pm so we made our way back to the tender at the marina in plenty of time to catch a lunch on board. After lunch, we chose to relax around the ...

... was my yogurt. She said yes and I asked if it was okay to not have whipping cream and she said of course and did I want chocolate or strawberry drizzle which was just sweet sundae stuff so I said oh no nothing thanks which was good as it was just perfect with the sweet creamy yogurt and the peaches, apples, kiwis etc that were in it. We were so hungry we just gobbled it down. On our way back to the hotel Jen saw a sign ...

... were going to get the bus straight to the airport on arrival and sleep in the terminal while waiting for the flight. The thought of going into Athens was too much for either of us to bear. As we waited for the ferry to arrive we were standing in the queue with everyone else. It was a windy day so the ferry was running a little late but no more than 15Min's when all of a sudden various Greek people in the queue started arguing and shouting but at nobody in particular. At one point ...

Canada Day in Ios

So for those who dont know, we are back on the island of Naxos now and it looks like we are probably staying here for the rest of this trip. We loved it here so decided we may as well come back! So yesterday and the day before we were on the island of Folegandros... its population is all of about 700 people, so it is a very small, quiet island... besides the roosters at 7am!! We stayed at a little family-run hotel in the tiny ...

... NOT do Santorini. (Don't we just love to push the envelope?). But we decided to stop off at Nacxos on our way, since we heard it was a lovely little island, actually the biggest island but quaint and charming none the less. We hopped on a very nice ferry (that we very nearly missed by the way. I think I spent the first hour trying to get my adrenaline levels back to normal) that cruised 5 hours to Naxos town where we were greeted by George. George runs ...

... walked past was advertising a drink called a 'Suffering *******', **********juring up the relaxed, exotic and mellow imagery that you tend to associate with a tropical beverage. Missing the last bus back to Agios Prokopios, we were forced to take a cab, haggling briefly with a complete tit of a taxi driver who was missing a back and looked like a giant pear. Got back in time and once again crashed in comfortable circumstance, rotund and well fed.

How on Earth did I get to be so lucky?

My family and I went on a cruise of the Greek Islands. We ate a lot, got sea sick once, soaked up the sun, and absorbed the classically beautiful white and blue colours on the islands. There weren't very much ship activities that my sister and I were interested in but Allyson and I did win a bingo game! Mykonos was by far our favorite island because of its beauty.
